Is it possible to list what source my correlation search is based on?

Hello,

We'd like to help our analysts to tell which correlation search is impacted in case of log source issue. But we can't find the way to list the dependence Correlation Search --> Data Model or Index it is based on.

Do you know if there is a way to do it?

For information, we have 3 types of Correlation Searches:
- Using an index, like index=internal action=create_user ...
- Using a datamodel, like | from datamodel:"Change_Analysis"."Account_Management" | ...
- Using a datamodel via tstats, like | tstats allow_old_summaries=t count from datamodel="Authentication" ...

Thanks for the help.

See if this gets you started in the right direction.

| rest /services/saved/searches 
| search is_scheduled=1 disabled=0
| fields title eai:acl.app search datamodel index 
| rex field=search "from datamodel[:=]\"?(?<datamodel>\w+)" | rex field=search "^index\s*=\s*(?<index>\w+)"

Hi @richgalloway

Thanks for the help, That's exactly what we were searching for!

We only implemented one more condition: | where match('action.correlationsearch.enabled', "1|[Tt]|[Tt][Rr][Uu][Ee]"). Without it all deactivated searches are listed as well (have no idea why disabled=0 doesn't help).
